In 2005, the Alliance published the Bronx River Ecological Restoration and Management Plan
and the Bronx River Greenway Plan, companion documents laying out a vision for a restored
river and a continuous Bronx River Greenway in the lower Bronx River. Scroll down to explore
the map of the lower Bronx River and delve into plans, which are also available as PDFs for
downloading.

In 2010, with input from the community, the Bronx River Alliance, NYC Parks, Mathews Nielsen
Landscape Architects and the New York Department of State released the Shoelace Park Master
Plan, a new vision for a one-and-one-half-mile stretch of parkland along the river in the
north Bronx.

Support for the Ecological Restoration and Management
Plan was provided by Congressman Jose E. Serrano’s WCS-NOAA
Lower Bronx River Partnership, Sarah K. de Coizart Article TENTH
Perpetual Charitable Trust, New York City Department of Parks & Recreation,
and the New York State Department of State.

The Bronx River Greenway Plan would not have been
possible without Greenway Program support from the Altman Foundation,
The J.M. Kaplan Fund, Merck Family Fund, The New York Community
Trust, and Sarah K. de Coizart Article TENTH Perpetual Charitable
Trust.
